Artist:The Lovin' Spoonful
Song:Daydream
Album:Anthology
The Lovin' Spoonful had a string of big hits in the mid-60s including Daydream. The group was led by John Sebastian & Zal Yanofsky. Sebastian wrote a lot of the songs including this one and liked to add a lot of unusual sounds like his autoharp. They were heavily influenced by folk & jug band music. The Lovin' Spoonful broke up in 1968 after two members were busted for pot and gave up the dealer. This Anthology comp from Rhino is the CD to get. Sebastian had a decent solo career and is best known for singing the theme to Welcome Back Kotter. He died a few years ago. The Lovin' Spoonful attempted to reform a few years ago. Not a good idea.
